This is a joke isnt it. Indy car fans are probably the most disfunctional fans on the planet.

And yes I see the irony in me whining about whining.

I will say this about Indy fans, I have made some of the most fabulous and enduring friendships through my love of the sport. I will add that the internet has opened this up for me and has shown, proof positive, that the internet can be and is a most awesome experience.

Read a Robin Miller Mail bag or Cavin’s daily QA and I’m not sure how you could say that IndyCar fans aren’t a bunch of whiners. Too many foriegners, too many road courses, not enough passing, too few ovals, bring back the apron, shut up dario, shut up danica, fire barnhardt, etc. Yes they can be nice of course. But they aren’t mutually exclusive. The host of this site complains all the time (it is still my favorite blog-free history lessons and makes some good points to ponder). Is anyone happy with the product? Seems to me that fans are not. I went to Mid-Ohio and loved every minute of it. maybe I’m to easy to please. I’m a life long fan of Ohio State football. Trust me, my fan base whines a lot. But not this much. Relax IndyCar nation and enjoy the ride.

I agree there . I watched the Anthony Bourdais No Reservations: Food Blogger special. Holy sh–. Those people are crazy. Makes us racing bloggers look sane.

I greatly enjoyed IndyCar Racing magazine and was greatly disappointed to see it discontinue. As for your blog George, it is people like you and Pressdog that help me gain greater connection and insight into the sport, and help make up for the absence of a magazine devoted to IndyCar. I hope you do not “burn out” anytime soon!

What a wonderful gift! Congrats!

As for IndyCar fans, they’re the same as anyone, I suppose, only moreso. There are those who can never find the pleasant side of anything, and there are those that just make you happy to know them and be an IndyCar fan. It’s all in who you choose to listen to that makes the difference!

What a great and thoughtful gift, quite a nice piece of memorabilia…
1983, that was quite a year, not only was CART steaming along nicely, but is also the year that my daughter was born…
